Angry Birds downloads reach 350m

The wheels (or wings) show no signs of falling off the Angry Birds juggernaut anytime soon.

Developer Rovio Mobile says its franchise has now generated more than 350 million downloads across all platforms.

Are people still playing? Just a bit. General manager Andrew Stalbow told the TechCrunch Disrupt conference yesterday that mobile gamers alone play Angry Birds for more than 300 million minutes a day in total.

And eat your heart out Crazy Frog: Rovio is currently selling more than one million plush toys and one million t-shirts every month off the back of the game's success.
